The weather was gradually turning cold. Li Beinian lay on the bed listening to the sounds of cicadas outside, feeling a sense of immense tranquility.

[Ah Chen]: Goodnight.
She stared at the message for the longest time without responding.
She muted her cell phone, staring at the ceiling in an almost hypnotic state.

She shut her eyes and fell into a deep and dreamless sleep.
